BF38T2A12060 - 4P CONTACTOR 2NO+2NC 56A 120V 60HZ
MPN: BF38T2A12060
Why Choose the BF38T2A12060?
Lovato BF38T2A12060 is a robust four‑pole contactor designed for dependable motor and load switching. Featuring a 120VAC 60Hz coil and 2NO/2NC contacts, it offers flexible control options. With an IEC operating current Ith (AC1) of 56A and AC3 performance of 38A/18.5kW at 400V, it suits demanding industrial panels.
Installation is quick via screw terminals or DIN rail 35mm mounting, with 2.5–3 Nm tightening torque. Rated insulation Ui 690V and 6kV impulse withstand boost resilience, while a -50 to 70 °C operating range and 20,000,000 mechanical cycles ensure longevity. Conforms to IEC/EN/BS 60947 and UL/CSA standards, for reliable use up to 3000 m in pollution degree 3 environments.
